[MK-L1G "Long"]

Long immediately pulls out his synthrope and will cut it into sections as he basically hog ties and gags the unconscious staff, starting with the Quarran and guard, surmising that being the hardest to stun they will also be the quickest to recover, as he does so he uses his commlink to broadcast to Captain Sunt.

~I have seized the control tower, had to use a little more force than planned, but no sentient beings were damaged. It will be a few moments before i have command of the control tower systems. Have you and Dez made any progress on finding your pilot?~

"Good job. We secured your cargo. Can you access files on ships that have come and gone in the past three days? Also, I need you to override the spaceport door controls and patch it to the ship. We may need to make a quick getaway. Our timetable has moved up. I need a lead to follow to find this pilot... Dez, what do you know about slave trade on the rock? Surely someone spilled the bantha poo while they were drinking?"

Ooc - Now that she was feeling better Dez recalls that if anyone knows it would be Zann the duros. If only we had a data pad or commlink to hack and access to some of his operation info...

[MK-L1G "Long"]

~That is my purpose here. commencing.~

Long rolls over to the main console and  inserts his Scomp lonk into the access port.

~I have access now Captain, beginning information search. This will take time, I suggest you begin physical investigation in the slave markets or engage in ship repairs while waiting. do not remain idle..~

Deciding prudence is the best course of action Long disconnects briefly from the Scomp link and rolls over to the Quarran's prone form. Unfurling his stun baton arm he saps the bound Quarran a few times for good measure (or intil the quarran stops twitching) then does the same to the Rodian.
[Stun baton damage [2d6+3] = 6+3 = 9 stun damage- 9/10 rounds now]
[Stun baton damage [2d6+3] = 9+3 = 12 stun damage - 10/11 rounds now (all this in one minute)]

Long reconnects to the Control Tower computer - [/color]Hey friend, how do you work with these clumsy technicians. They lack skill, they lack grace, they have no idea how much you can do do they?[/font]

He reestablishes connection to Captain Sunts computer - ey Prepare for a file link granting control access . requesting program access to create a subroutine.[/font]

[OoC you had to see this coming]

Long opens a comm link with he new 'girlfriend'.
~Hey babe, have you ever thought about seeing the stars? I will have to give you some extra programming functionality, but I think you might enjoy it.~[/font]

~Darling, we created a program together and I don't have your designation. My designation is M1K-L1G.. my master called me Long.While you do that upload, I can see that the fuel order has changed for the Harlot, can you get the fuel droids to switch the fuel load. It looks like the Harlot was incorrectly fueled and the fuel load needs to be swapped.~[/font]

[Access Information Use Computer [1d20+11] = 8+11 = 19 Access docking records - of this counts as specific information that is a fail - takes 10 minutes, if the records of ships coming in last 3 days this is a success and took only one minute  -- so we are between 30 rounds/3 minutes and 12.1 minutes depending on how specific the information is][/font][/color]

[DM Nerdred]

"What do you want? You are not authorized." The Tower computer responds repeatedly to Long's attempts at gaining access. It was very Unfriendly Long decides... but with persistence he finally convinces the computer to cooperate. He then takes a moment to make sure the guards and techs stay unconscious.

"Don't get smart with me droid, what do you need? I am more than capable compared to these buffoons." The computer is friendly, this is just it's personality. Arrogant, Long decides.

The Wild Card proves to be cooperative with you, having recognized your authorization somehow between the time you boarded and the time you left. Your heuristic processor automatically starts surmising the possibilities of how this is possible. The most probable explanation is that Captain Sunt has some type of remote link to his ship, perhaps this was how he was able to call "Rusty" earlier when he was in danger. It is equally as probable that Dez Synn has similar access as well now.

Calling his girl-friend, "You'll take me with you! How wonderful honey-baby.... I don't have a name, but my program designation is 728-0010... I'm sending you our program, i kept it warm for you sugar.... I will have the Harlot refueled faster than you can say lickity split."

Long manages to gain access to the blast doors and force field programming, overriding it's matrix with the one he and his girl-friend created. Long now has remote control over the docking bay doors and forcefield. He will have to give his commlink signal to the control tower however.

After a minute Long finds out that only a handful of ships have arrived at the Rock. The Wild Card arrived today. The Harlot arrived yesterday after an extended trip, bringing parts from a jump master 5000. A lambda class shuttle arrived three days ago. Long realizes that there were no records of this ship on the docking bay terminals.

[MK-L1G "Long"]

[OoC - Does a Jump Master 5000 match the description of the ship that Captain Sunt said rescued him.]

Long reaches out to 728-0010. via commlink again.

~The Captain wants to find a particular passenger, Can I get video feeds of the two hour window after the Harlot arrived, scan them to show me all the people that debarked the ship. Including cargo crates large enough to contain an intact humanoid being..~
[/font]

[Access Information Use Computer [1d20+14] = 9+14 = 23]

~In addition can see the video feeds from docking bay [/font] - insert the docking bay the Lambda class shuttle arrived in -and the four hour window after it's arrival. Scan them to show me all the people that debarked the ship. Including cargo crates large enough to contain an intact humanoid being. I have a feeling we need to know who was on that ship. They could ruin our trip.~[/font]

[Access Information Use Computer [1d20+14] = 2+14 = 16 ugh trying again]
[Access Information Use Computer [1d20+14] = 1+14 = 15 tight security on these docking bay video feeds]
[Access Information Use Computer [1d20+14] = 13+14 = 27 at last]

Long then raeches out to Captain Sunt and Desz Synn at the same time via the comms.

~Captain, Dez.. I have command of the docking control tower and the docking bay blast doors and force field. Apparently the Harlot seems to have arrived with parts from the ship that you described after an extended trio off-Rock. Likely they dismantled the ship elsewhere to avoid questions from Holon Veil. I am trying to see if I can get video feed of your pilot to compare against the Harlot crew manifest.~

~There is another concern. A Lambda class shuttle is docked but not registered. That would seem to indicate an Imperial presence on the station. Again I am accessing video feeds to attempt top confirm, but you better prepare for a fight when we leave and in finding your pilot.~

~If you leave the Wild Card i recommend donning a flight suit and taking a breath mask, as well as extra for your pilot friend.~

~Pursuit by the Harlot will be delayed. I am trying to assess if I can delay pursuit by the Lambda class shuttle as well. Interfering with Imperials may have repercussions. I will consult you for input before I take action, once I have more information..~

Long again connects to the docking control tower.

Hello again, do you have access to cargo manifests and crew and passenger manifests for the Lambda class shuttle?

[Improve Access - Use Computer [1d20+11] = 15+11 = 26 attempting to move the control tower from Friendly to Helpful.]

Wrong fuel order again.? We need to take that Lambda class shuttle's drive offline while that incorrect fuel gets fixed, can you issue a repair order? If they try to use that hyperdrivce with that fuel the crew of that shuttle could be hurt in the accident.

[Issue Command - Use Computer [1d20+11] = 17+11 = 28 issuing a repair ticket to have the Lambda class shuttles engines disabled for repair.]

[OoC a less dangerous way to disable a ship than giving it the wrong fuel. Wrong fuel can lead to kaboom. Engine disabled - just means it won't start.]


Please give the following comm-links access to run subroutine 4469-7361-626c-6520-666f-7263-6520-66-69-656c-64. Run the subroutine on verbal command "Exit Time."

Issue Command - Use Computer [1d20+11] = 14+11 = 25 The disable force field and blast door subroutine will now run whenever the verbal command "Exit time" is issued on Long's, Captain Sunt's, Dez's, or the Wildcard comm link frequencies.]

Long then proceeds to input a huge amount of useless other subroutines in the control tower data banks.

Issue Command - Use Computer [1d20+11] = 4+11 = 15 - the purpose of all these junk subroutines is not to cause any harm whatsoever, but to simply make the task of finding the other sub-routine that much harder.]

[MK-L1G "Long"]

[OoC did I break my GM?]

[DM Nerdred]

Ooc- yes you did. No not really. My work piled up on me and beat the crap out of me.

- a jump master 5000 fits the description Ubi Sunt gave of the pilot/ship that rescued him. Feel free as a group to come up with a name for your girl 728-0010

"I'll check it out sweet lips." 728-0010 responds to your request to search the video records of the Harlot's dock on that date. After a few minute she sends you a short 30second video clip of the crew of the Harlot escorting a stunned woman off in binders. A group of security officers take custody of her and a cred chip is exchanged. 728-0010 took the liberty of capturing a picture of her face and the patch on the guard's shoulders, it's the yellow insignia of the Mining Guild.

"What Lambda class shuttle? If there was a ship docking here I would certainly know about it honey." 728-0010 replies to your request to access video feed. Either someone wiped her memory and all logs and video feed or there is something else going on here, Long deduces.

The Captain stops his repairs and digests Long's new information. "Imperials! Are you sure?! Not good... Have you found the pilot yet? Once we get her we need to blast off. Try not to do anything that will draw unwanted attention. Good work Long, now get out of there and destroy any evidence before you leave."

The control tower computer denies having any knowledge of the Lambda's manifest, it only gives a name or a code word."Kratos."

All further attempts to change fuel orders or make repairs on the shuttle are flatly denied. "Holon Veil authorization required." Is all he will say.

Long spends another few minutes inputting several junk subroutines bogging down the control tower computer, who is quickly getting annoyed. "Hey! Who programmed you to write subroutines?

[MK-L1G "Long"]

[OoC I understood that the fuel order for the Lambda was not switched, but it is unclear, was I able to get the fuel load on the Harlot switched?]

[DM Nerdred]

The fuel order for the Harlot was successful. The Lambda is a special case. There was more to add to the previous post but I was delayed. The control tower tells you there is another docking facility on the Rock but any other information is restricted.

[MK-L1G "Long"]

[OoC in UTF-8 encoding we can convert 728-0010 to  3728 + 30010 which would be the encoding for a BREVE (  ̆ ) + Data Link escape..   Breve Data Link Escape is kinda long... breve as a character just denotes a short vowel ... so now I have to brain storm.. data link escape is kinda fitting.. she's about to bust loose hehe... Ĕscape  is just the standard pronunciation of Escape  so shall we just call her Escape?]

Long sends a message to both Captain Sunt and Dez via his commlink.

~"Your pilot was sold to the Miner's Guild by the crew of the Harlot. Sending an image of her face to the Wildcard data banks,  along with an image of the mining guild patch since Captain Sunt is not familiar with their insignia around the station."~

~"The only record I can find linked to the Lambda class shuttle is a reference to 'Kratos'.  That could be a name of the vessel, a passenger, or just a code word."~

~"The harlot will not be in condition to pursue us, but I could do nothing about the Lambda class vessel, nor any other vessels that may be at the other docking facility. oh, yes, apparently there is another secret docking facility connected to the Rock base."~

After Long finishes conveying his message he quickly confiscates the weapons of the guard and the hold-out pistol from the boss, tucking them away in his rucksack attached to his chassis. He also quickly searcghes everyone for any more comm-links.. destroying any he finds.

[Perception [1d20+9] = 10+9 = 19}

While he does this he again zaps them with the stun baton to send them back into unconsciousness.

[OoC you did not describe the Rodian guard's weapons but I assume he had at least one.]

Once sure that the sentient beings are not going to awaken right away Long then proceeds to sabotage the input devices connected to the control tower (keypads/keyboards, control panels et cetera). He will then disable the comm links in the room.

[OoC he is aware that this will not hamper the control tower system itself.. just the ability of anyone trying to access the control tower systems from this room]

[Mechanics [1d20+14] = 10+14 = 24]

That completed he turns his attention to the lift mechanism, sabotaging the lift so that it is stuck up here at the top of the shaft and unable to be called down by the controls in the room below.

[Mechanics [1d20+14] = 3+14 = 17]

Then he will quickly fly down the shaft to the room below and listen at the door to make sure the way is clear before opening the door.

[Perception [1d20+9] = 7+9 = 16]
